8 Tricks For Healthier Halloween Treats

Whether you’re handing out the treats to mini-mummies and teeny-tiny witches on your doorstep or giving your own little terrors a few extra nibbles after dark, here are a few pointers for making your Halloween treats as healthy as possible this year.

1. Carve a pineapple instead of a pumpkin, and turn the insides into little snack chunks for the big night.

8. Keep things active. Play games like ‘Pop the Pumpkin’ (a race to see who can burst the most orange balloons in 10 seconds) or ‘Spooky Spoons’ (who can move the most bat droppings - or raisins - from one bowl to another using only a spoon in their mouth?). And no healthy Halloween is complete without a round of apple bobbing or biting to get some fruit inside the kids too.
